Our friend Hookah the Cat returns with another jam. This time it has an awesome space-drone quality with some dissonant chords.

Zelda and Nord Modular G2
A very sweet picture of Zelda the cat sleeping atop a Nord Modular G2 engine. From tomhallsonics via Instagram.
I give you a picture of baby girl, deep in a dream state, while I make obnoxious squeaky sounds (how she manages to sleep to it I’ll never understand)
To find out more about Tom Hall’s music, please visit his Bandcamp page.
I have long been intrigued by the Nord Modular, though we don’t have one here at CatSynth HQ.
Jazzy and Pioneer DJ Toraiz AS1
Our friend Jazzy from Eevo Lute Music and Technology (eevolute.studio) returns, this time with a Toraiz AS1 from Pioneer DJ and Dave Smith.
A Beautiful Dissonance
A beautiful black cat with green eyes on a Yamaha keyboard. Reminds me of our beloved Luna 💕

I couldn’t figure out why Cubase was making a terrifying dissonant drone until I turned to my right and…
Orion and ARP 3620 keyboard
Handsome Orion poses in a sun puddle in front of an ARP 3260 keyboard. This is the keyboard that goes with an ARP 2600 synthesizer. From Justin Sullivan (@justin3am) on Twitter.
The original ARP 2600 didn’t have a keyboard built in. The 3260 was the keyboard that one could attach, and usually appears with it in regular use. You can see our video from NAMM 2020 testing out the 2600 reissue from Korg (which includes the keyboard).
CatSynth Pic: Max/MSP
Cat reviewing a complex patch in Max/MSP. From @tomhallsonics on Twitter.
It’s humbling when she points out the bugs 🐜
We at CatSynth know the feeling. Sam Sam often sits and judges my mixing and mastering.
White Cat and ModCan modular
Our white feline friend is back, this time in a cozy spot inside a ModCan modular system.

She has such a lovely house 🙂
We at CatSynth agree.
Jet and MB 808
The lovely Jet returns, this time with an MB 808. From Keith Winstanley via Facebook.
The MB 808 is a DIY clone of the Roland TR-808 drum machine, that uses the uCApps.de MidiBox Sequencer. Here is a video about the MidiBox sequencer with 808 analog drums.

Rituari 2022: Cat with Elektron Digitone
Today we have an illustration featuring a cat playing an Eketron Digiton. From plastichelmet on Instagram.
#rituari2022 ger idag drömdjur. Det blir givetvis #catsynth. Jag har köpt en begagnad synt idag men får fortsätta drömma om det som många andra med synthar har – en katt som vill vara med i ljudskruvandet. Livet är orättvist för oss kattallergiker.

Translating from Swedish to Googlish:
#rituari2022 today gives dream animals. It will of course be #catsynth. I bought a used synth today but can continue to dream about what many others with synths have – a cat who wants to be part of the sound crew. Life is unfair to us cat allergy sufferers.
This appears to be part of a series of illustrations every day this month. And cat allergies are indeed a curse.
